This is track number 4 from the Vespertine Backing Track Promo CD. I will be uploading more later today.
Absolutely gorgeous and intense. To my ears, this is exactly as the album version (even though it says demo) minus, you know, the main vocals. Backing vocals are present.

There is a demo version of Hidden Place, which sounds very similar to the official album version so... we have to run it through a mod or admin before posting it.
I wouldn't know how to describe the difference between the demo and the album versions, except maybe that the album version feels more "down to earth"/thought out.

I love Vespertine. I love that Google Chrome doesn't even recognize it as a word. I think it means "Of the night."
If you asked me to assign one word for every album, the word for this album would be 'gorgeous.'
or maybe 'pretty.'
I think it the prettiest of her albums.

The word that comes to mind when I think of this album is "erotic." It's such an intimate album, and it somehow manages to be winter-y and warm at the same time. I love her vocals throughout ... more than on any other album of hers, it just feels like she's taking sensual pleasure in singing, in making sound.

OK, that sounds kind of ridiculous, but it's the best way I can think of putting it!

The highlights for me have always been "Undo," "Pagan Poetry," "Aurora," and "Unison." it feels like so many of the songs on the record are about longing and intimacy, wanting to connect, wanting to experience pleasure. "Heirloom" aside, I completely adore everything here. Also, I agree with other posters that the tour was brilliant ... one of the best live shows I've seen.

One thing I've come to appreciate about Vespertine is how genuinely erotic it is- no silicone titties or juvenile smut, which is all most pop musicians ever give us. It's an album that convinces me Bjork must be an amazing lover
